    You guys, I am in LOVEEEE with this new Warm Salmon Salad recipe! Full disclosure, I was inspired to create this dish by one of my favorite restaurants, Green Tomato Grill. If you know me, you know that I’m a regular at this restaurant. Healthy meals + fresh ingredients + eco-conscious restaurant = I’m hardcore into it. They have a new keto menu with a similar salad on there that I have been obsessed with over the last few months, so naturally I wanted to created my own because that’s how I roll. It took me a few times to get it right, but practice makes perfect y’all. 😉

    I wasn’t able to create the exact same dish, but I put my own spin on it and that’s what it’s all about! This is a recipe that can feed the whole family or you can use it to meal prep for the week, up to you! It’s just as awesome heated up 2-3 days later, promise. This dish is fresh, zesty, filling and so freaking delicious! I hope you love it as much as I do.

    Warm Salmon Salad Ingredients

    • Wild caught salmon
    • Everything but the elote seasoning, found at Trader Joe’s
    • Green bell pepper
    • Red bell pepper
    • White onion
    • While Mushroom
    • Lemon pepper
    • Garlic powder
    • Seasoned salt
    • Avocado oil
    • Mixed greens
    • Pico de gallo
    • Salsa

    Health Benefits of This Dish

    • Rich source of omega 3 fatty acids, which provides anti-inflammatory properties. The major reason I always consume wild caught salmon versus farm raised salmon is the omega 3 content and quality of the salmon. Wild caught salmon feeds off the ecosystem while farm raised are fed corn and their omega 3 content is much lower when consumed.
    • The vegetable mixture of this dish provides a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and fiber.
    • This salad is considered low carb and can aid in weight loss, as well as provide blood sugar control.
